I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Target (Nashville, TN) in Apr 2009
Interview
They opened a new Target and interviewed about 60 people in a few days and most were hired. We answered some simple questions and did a drug screen. Most people who were there were either high school students or in college. Our interviewer was also very young. But they expected a fairly high turnover rate as people went back to school and needed people temporarily to move boxes and stock the store since they have just opened. It was just a matter of getting to the interview, you were almost guaranteed to be hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me something you did to resolve a difficult situation with a customer. There were some others, but as long as you passed the drug screen, you were hired.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target (Ames, IA) in Nov 2012
Interview
I turned in an application and received a call about a week later asking to set up an interview. When I came in I had to fill out a questionnaire before meeting with a Guest Service Team Lead. We then went into the back room and he asked me a few questions; Give an example of a situation during a past job experience where you had to be a leader, where you solved a customers problem, and where you had to remain calm under a stressful situation.
After interviewing with him, an HR member came and asked me similar questions then told me I was hired and set up an orientation time.

Question 1
I think coming up with a good example of solving a customer complaint was difficult as I've never had a position where I was immediately responsible to help issues, so I was only able to hand it off to a supervisor and apologize.
